Hello Michael,
I would suggest this was a mistaken observation. No German surface-to-air rockets were ever used in combat, as far as I understand.
The primary German air-to-air rocket was the 21,0 cm BR 21, see warbirds-blog.cz/?p=3219
A much more advanced rocket was used in small numbers by Me 262s. This was the Rheinmetall-Borsig R 4/M 'Orkan', see luftarchiv.de/index.htm?/flugkorper/r4m.htm

Dan
